Linus, Linux, i DRM ed il Trusted Computing

Un interessantissima disquisizione di Alessandro Bottoni reperibile su bicocca.net. … Ancora una volta, Linux ed il mondo Open Source, saggiamente, non fanno la guerra al Trusted Computing ma il mondo Trusted Computing sta sviluppando armi potentissime con cui fare la guerra a Linux ed al “mondo libero” (Open Source)… Lo stesso autore scrive su laspinanelfianco.wordpress.com e, in particolare, segnalo 2 categorie di questo blog: * [DRM](http://laspinanelfianco.wordpress.com/tag/drm/) * [Trusted-Computing](http://laspinanelfianco.wordpress.com/tag/trusted-computing/) Ed infine, il link ai miei post precedenti su DRM e TC.

SheepShaver: MacOS Classic on MacIntel

This application was bord with the run Classic Application in any operating system. It seems to be an “Emulation-Layer” (so, not a “Virtuallization-Layer”) and… it’s for available (and supported) on various systems: * [Linux](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux) (i386, ppc, x86_64) * [MacOS X](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macosx) (<strong>i386</strong>, ppc) * [Darwin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_%28operating_system%29) * [NetBSD 2.0](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbsd) * [FreeBSD 5.3](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebsd) * [Windows for x86](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows) As you probably know, Apple, with new MacIntel, has cutted-off the support for Classic: it was a virtuallization, not an emulation and then… a simple recompilation it’s not enough. ...

XGL: OpenGL sempre più prepotentemente sui nostri Desktop

XGL: tutti ne stanno parlando ultimamente. Ci sono articoli in ogni dove su XGL ma… che é? Prendiamo da Wikipedia: Xgl is an X server architecture, started by David Reveman, layered on top of OpenGL via glitz. Some say that it is seen as the future of the X.Org Server, but some disagree because it requires a 3D graphics card. Although most PCs are nowadays shipped with such a card, most vendors (most notably NVIDIA and ATI Technologies) don’t provide open source drivers for their cards, which do not work on all computer architectures supported by the X.Org Server. ...
